Above the Law - Thinking Like a Lawyer : Supremely Disappointing Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

The SCOTUS Term is over and so is any remotely text-based interpretation of the Voting Rights Act. Justice Alito pulled off a smooth rewriting of the statute with nary a peep from his textualist colleagues. It looks like this is going to be our future for a while. And it's a future that will apparently include Justice Breyer who appears to have locked in to staying on the Court, all common sense aside. Speaking of common sense, how much money might you sacrifice to have work from home flexibility? For most of you out there, it's a lot.

ABA Journal: Modern Law Library : Do we need to rethink how we handle classified leaks? Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

As the 50th anniversary of the Pentagon Papers case approached, First Amendment scholars Lee Bollinger and Geoffrey Stone knew they wanted to mark the occasion somehow.

Much has changed since RAND Corporation employee Daniel Ellsberg decided spend weeks photocopying some 7,000 pages of a classified report on the war in Vietnam and sneaking them out via his briefcase to be published by the New York Times and the Washington Post. For one thing, since 2011, the complete report has been made available to the public by the National Archives. For another, it has become both easier to download and spirit away classified information, and easier to use digital trails to identify any leakers.

In the digital age, should we still be using the Pentagon Papers case as precedent, and how should we approach modern examples of leakers like Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Reality Winner? Bollinger and Stone gathered together about 30 experts in the fields of national security, journalism and academia to tackle the questions raised by 50 years of post-Pentagon Papers jurisprudence.

The commission's report and essays from the various contributors were compiled into the book National Security, Leaks and Freedom of the Press: The Pentagon Papers Fifty Years On. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Bollinger and Stone discuss their experience working on the project, the developments they found most surprising, and some of the best practices suggested by the commission.

The Un-Billable Hour : Herding Cats Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

Close to leaving the profession she worked so hard to join, Giugi Carminati realized what was missing: Legal project management.

But there was a problem. By their very natures, lawyers are resistant to the methods and processes that make legal project management most effective.

Carminati and host Christopher Anderson talk about how legal project management is slowly being adopted and embraced in the legal profession. Carminati explains how this change in management can help firms retain women and lawyers of color before they get fed up and flee.

Giugi Carminati is an experienced litigator and certified Legal Project Manager and eDiscovery Director for NDH, LLC.

Not everyone is thrilled about going back to the office, but it seems that more and more businesses are setting dates for their employees’ required return. This begs the question – should employers be able to demand their workers’ physical presence? Dennis and Tom talk through the many issues at play here, and whether we ever can (or should) get things “back to normal.”

This time on “Hot or Not?”, Dennis and Tom give an update on their Second Brain projects, sharing their individual progress and the notable ways they’ve been implementing their chosen tech.

As always, stay tuned for the parting shots, that one tip, website, or observation you can use the second the podcast ends.
